The Scandinavian tribes contain mixed members of five - once separate - tribes.

1. The Hasdingi, known as the most powerful which were originally lead by Darius Valgard. Hasdingi are made up of strong and skilled warriors who value family and battle equally. Women are married very young and have a main focus to have children. Royalty as well as some given permission participate in polygamous marriage. They are very superstitious when it comes to the Gods, and are lead spiritually by two priestesses, an elder Ragna, and the daughter of the late King Valgard, Novanja.

2. The Silingi, an off-shoot tribe of Hasdingi, once enemies now mixed in with Hasdingi due to their village burning down. Their leader, Luc Aevar is now the King of Hasdingi after the passing of Darius Valgard. The Silingi are known for being incredibly large warriors. Very strong and skilled in battle. Nearly unbeatable. They have few manners when dealing with enemies, and often raid other villages to attain wives and wealth.

3. The Ostrogoth tribe, once lead by King Ragnimar Amundr. Ostrogoth was raided by the Silingi causing them to seek sanctuary in Hasdingi. Ragnimar Amundr was later killed by Darius Valgard for attacking his wife. Ostrogoth underwent many attacks in it's day by Rome, having many women stolen away to become slaves there.

4. The Lombard tribe, a northern tribe was lead by the elderly Chief Elric Alfarinn and his second wife Ania Lohor. Ania poisoned her husband and brought her entire tribe south to ally with the Silingi. She was later imprisoned by Luc Aevar for conspiracy, and killed by her own daughter Arinya. The two remaining Lombard royals are twin sisters, Anya and Tula who remain with their own families in Eire.

5. The Visigoth tribe, lead by Queen Vidar, former allies of Darius Valgard. They remain current allies while the Queen (sick with possession of The Morrigan) seeks solace in Hasdingi.

Sure. The only thing that has changed though is that Anina is dead. Her daughter Arinya killed her after she was imprisoned for plotting to kill Luc Aevar and Darius Valgard. No one but Lejo knows about the murder tho.
